Consistent with previous years, services are asked to contact their local Early Childhood Implementation Branch (ECIB) to discuss any Declaration of Eligibility decisions made after Wednesday 30 November 2022.
As KIMS has now closed, a copy of the Declaration for Eligibility for a second year of funded kindergarten needs to be provided by email to your ECIB. Once KIMS re-opens from Tuesday 3 January 2023, services can upload a copy of the Declaration for Eligibility to the child’s 2023 enrolment record.
In submitting a Declaration of Eligibility, the early childhood teacher is confirming with the department that a child is eligible for a second year of funded Four-Year-Old Kindergarten, and the Term 3 plan for learning and development and the second-year discussion form were completed.
